Musky Glenn Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I noticed artificial stone molds are cheaper than alum. what is their down side? Would they work for someone pouring baits for themselves only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 They work for me. I spray them with PAM before each pour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyfish Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 They work fine. The baits turn out dull, or at least mine do. Spraying with PAM as Mark noted may fix that. The only down side i had was the shipping time was long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keakar Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) baitmold.com sells them and i just got one. i never got any notice when, or even if, it was shipped, but it arrived in about 3 weeks time as mentioned the stone isnt a smooth shiny cavity surface so it makes baits with dull finish unless the mold gets lubed first the downside is they are thin so if dropped on hard floor it may break, and if you clamp them too hard it "could" cause deformation because the stone isnt rigid stone like it appears to be so it can warp from the heat over time so not a lifetime mold like with cnc aluminum is. the mold cavities can also be sealed to create smooth baits just like they do with POP molds Edited September 28, 2019 by keakar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
